After Brack left, Hirilah and Leiblalei began drafting a secret letter to Vasu Deva I.

This letter detailed the results of the Kushan and Han Dynasty battle in the Wenga Region. After the main letter, there were three narratives purely describing battlefield changes, without any guiding language. Finally, at the end, there were individual guesses and analyses from the three.

The guesses and analyses of these three individuals had their own biases but also commonalities, and likewise conflicts, yet they reflected each person's individual insights.

As for what Vasu Deva I could glean from the main letter and the accompanying battlefield narratives and insights, that was beyond Hirilah and the others' control.

In fact, what Hirilah and the others didn't know was that at the time of their writing, Vasu Deva I had already received secret letters sent back by Zhukashyapa and Kasani.

Although the fact that the Han Army fought in the Malacca sea battle was concealed by Qiu Lique among the major forces, Zhukashyapa and Qiu Lique, as nobles who understood the concept of the Han Dynasty, ultimately decided to write a secret letter and send it back by ship.

The speed of marching by ship at sea is indeed far greater than that of the land forces, but if it's purely individual speed, then the Marines are far outpaced by the straight-line gallop of the Cavalry.

Thus, the letter drifted at sea for over a month before reaching the Kushan coastline, and then was expedited by land to reach Vasu Deva I.

To begin with, Vasu Deva I's recent days were truly very good; since he became fierce, he found that many things were no longer problems for him.

Khwarezm (Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan regions) rebelled before, didn't they? Khorasan (Tajik, Turkmen, Uzbekistan regions) rebelled before, didn't they? The entire north of Kushan became semi-independent, didn't they? Kushan, which arose from Central Asia, lost Onion Ridge, and now is about to lose all of Central Asia.

However, Vasu Deva I, who once coasted through life, only cared if there were no issues in the Royal Capital, Peshawar, and was indifferent to the fate of other regions, as all of this was a historical legacy to him, and the Brahmins always dragged their feet, so Vasu Deva I didn't bother to care.

After one Spiritual Relic was lost, Vasu Deva I suddenly realized his Emperor's Position seemed unstable, and it seemed like there were Crafty People, oh no, Brahmins and Kshatriyas plotting against him, and he was taken aback.

Although as an emperor he wouldn't be overthrown, the mere thought of never again influencing millions with his words and actions filled Vasu Deva I with despair.

Under the pressure of this thought process, Vasu Deva I pulled himself together, thinking since things were already this bad, even if he screwed up he'd just step down, so there was nothing to fear, prompting him to act with frenzy.

He quelled rebellion in the Xianping Kingdom, then tackled Khwarezm, after that fought against Khorasan, and finally realized that all these reactionary factions seemed to be paper tigers. Those who once clamored for his dethronement were silenced after he harvested them like rice.

Oddly, Vasu Deva I found his Emperor's Position stable, and surprisingly, numerous Low Caste Inner Qi Manifestation individuals rallied to him, totaling over twenty. Vasu Deva I could guarantee that, previously, he hadn't imagined so many unregistered Inner Qi Manifestation individuals existed among the populace.

The Brahmins had initially promised that as long as one was below the Kshatriya caste, achieving Inner Qi Manifestation would grant Kshatriya status, yet unexpectedly, so many Inner Qi Manifestation individuals hadn't accepted the Brahmins' enfeoffment.

What was further unexpected was that after his reckless rampage, not only did he execute the Rebel Faction one by one, he also garnered such a massive number of supporters.

Though Vasu Deva I wasn't a competent emperor, being an emperor nonetheless, he had some political acumen. He well understood why these Inner Qi Manifestations that refused to ally with the Brahmins leaned toward him, but this wasn't a bad thing.

Having prepared himself for stepping down and pulling others down with him, Vasu Deva I was unafraid of the Brahmins plotting against him, as it was already irrelevant, should he fall, the outcomes would remain unchanged regardless of actions.

With this mindset, after sweeping away all internal rebellions within the Kushan Empire, reclaiming the semi-independent Khwarezm and Khorasan entirely, Vasu Deva I finally challenged the religious authority he had always disliked.

Though the Brahmins were very powerful, unlike any era before, even unlike the time when Yano Gaozhen descended upon South Asia, this era saw Vasu Deva I wielding greater worldly power than the Brahmins!

In whichever era before, the Brahmins held divine authority and possessed power in the world superior to the royal authority; they had their troops, generals, and their own states.

However, to Vasu Deva I, who had already prepared to drag others down with him as he stepped down, such power was inconsequential, he took out the leaders the Brahmins installed within the Royal Capital Guard, and directly air-dropped an Inner Qi Manifestation, eliminating all dissenters.

Through near-purge methods, supported by over twenty Inner Qi Manifestations who believed Vasu Deva I was resilient in suppressing rebellions and establishing Central Asia, and who voluntarily came from among the populace to rally, Vasu Deva I successfully seized the vast majority of military power within Kushan.
